You’ll have your body
tracked, all the time1
We’ll soon have our body tracked and
monitored, on an hourly basis. Wearable
devices can keep track of heartbeat,
temperature and physical activity, whether
you’re running a marathon or testing a new
sofa. In the US they’ll reach a 20% market
penetration by 2020.

Your cholesterol is a bit high these days.
We’ll know if something is not going well,
much earlier than before. By monitoring
our body stats on an hourly basis, we can be
alerted to a problem as soon as it occurs - no
need to wait for that medical check-up in 3
months. Prevention, at its best.

Three runs this week. Chapeau. By

diet and workouts can make us live healthier
and longer.

50% of prescribed medications are not
taken correctly. Connected pill dispensers
can improve the experience of the patients,
by reminding them the dosage and timing.
Plus, the doctor may be notified when the
patient is running out of pills, and whether
the drug is negatively effecting other
parameters.

Repairing medical equipment even before
the issue occurs. Connected medical
equipment can predict failures of the
equipment and automatically alert the
provider. In a test performed by Karvy
Analytics, system failures of medical
equipment were avoided in 99% of the cases,
and alerted 20 to 30 days in advance.

Of millions of people. For years. This data

aim: to better diagnose and treat disease,
that is, to live better and longer.

IoT in Healthcare also comes with a dose
of risks. You don’t want your hospital
to have data breaches and share your
complete clinical folder with the world -
in that case, better have a call with your
lawyer soon. But this is only the extreme
example. Reality is that attention has to
be paid for each single data transfer: only
the relevant pieces of information should
be shared.

... miss to turn
Data into Insights
The manufacturing chain of Big Data
is long: after extraction, you need to
validate, aggregate, transform and
normalize data. Done? Not yet - the real
work starts there. Make sure to connect
the dots, find correlations, formulate
actionable insights, and make doctors
able to read and apply them.

Fitbit knows more about its consumers than
the National Healthcare. The key will be:
creating an open platform where data can
be shared in a structured way (80% of health
data today is unstructured). It’s not just
National Healthcare: universities, research
centers, start-ups, healthcare companies
(e.g. Philips), and patients themselves will be
involved.

whole Ecosystem
